Ikea is like Disney World for Grown Ups

My poor mother lives in New Mexico. Don't get me wrong - I love New Mexico. Every day I miss the desert sunsets, the vast mountains, the colorful culture, the unique history. Despite the amazing things that New Mexico has, it does not have one thing: Ikea.

When my mother moved my littlest sister into college last year in Minnesota, she finally experienced what I like to call Disney World for Grown Ups. She finally realized what she was missing by living in New Mexico (aside from seeing her favorite daughter regularly and whatnot). Today she gets to experience her second visit to Ikea - yes, we are taking a trip to Charlotte to go shopping!

Now, usually John does not allow me to venture inside Ikea without supervision. It's kind of like he knows me or something. Luckily Unfortunately he is busy preparing for his graduate recital so Mom will be my co-conspirator supervisor.
